Curricular information is subject to change.

This course introduces students to the disciplines on otolaryngology and ophthalmology. Using a combination of student role-play, video recording, standardized patients (actors) and actual patients, students will learn the skills of history taking and examination of the eyes, ears, nose and throat. The learning environment will include the UCD Clinical Skills Centre. The clinical attachments associated with this module are now associated with medicine and surgery modules in the later curriculum. The course is predominantly practical in nature and the emphasis is on development of clinical history taking, communication skills, physical examination and use of the auroscope and the ophthalmoscope. It is supported by a lecture programme which serves to orientate students to the learning tasks and to complement the skills elements of the course with an introduction to other key elements of clinical practice. These include professionalism, management of acute and chronic illness and lifelong learning. Students must pass this module - there is no compensation mechanism available.
